OPERATIONAL SUMMARY
While looking through the 7x eyepiece, depress the power button once to activate the in-view Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD). Place the aiming circle (located in the center of the field of view) upon a target
at least 5 yards away, depress and hold the POWER button down until the range reading is displayed
near the bottom of the in-view display. Crosshairs surrounding the aiming circle indicate that the laser is
being transmitted. Once a range has been acquired, you can release the power button. The crosshairs
surrounding the aiming circle will disappear once the power button has been released (i.e. the laser is
no longer being transmitted). At power up and anytime a target has not been acquired, dashes will
show in the primary numeric display area. Note: Once activated, the ELITE®1500 ARC™’s LCD will
remain active and display the last distance measurement for 30 seconds. You can depress the POWER
button again at any time to distance to a new target. As with any laser device, it is not recommended to
directly view the emissions for long periods of time with magnified lenses. The maximum time the laser is
transmitted (fired) is 10 seconds. To re-fire, press the button again.
MENU SETUP – SELECTION of BOW, RIFLE, REGULAR MODES and UNIT OF MEASURE
There are two ARC (Angle Range Compensation) modes and one REGULAR mode. The two ARC modes
are BOW mode and RIFLE mode.
To select between these modes, first turn the unit “ON” by pressing and releasing the POWER button.
Next, press and hold the MODE button for five seconds. The “SETUP” display icon will light and the

(
) lit with one of the ballistic groups (A thru H) displayed and flashing, or no indicators lit and the
message “

The modes can be cycled through in a circular fashion by pressing and releasing the mode button. The order of
modes is a follows: BOW, RIFLE A, RIFLE B, RIFLE C, RIFLE D, RIFLE E, RIFLE F, RIFLE G, RIFLE H, REG, etc.
When the bow selection is displayed, the “BOW” icon will flash and when a “RIFLE: selection is displayed,
the “RIFLE” icon will be steady, but the ballistic group will be flashing toward the bottom of the LCD.
When the “

” will flash near the bottom of the LCD.
Once the desired distance compensation mode is displayed, select it by pressing and releasing the
POWER button. Following this selection, the current unit of measure, “Y” for yards or “M” for meters will
flash in the LCD and the SETUP icon is still lit. Pressing the MODE button will toggle the unit of measure.
When the desired unit of measure is displayed, press the POWER button to accept the unit of measure
and to return to the normal operating menu. Upon returning to the normal operating menu, the current
compensation mode and unit of measure will be identified in the LCD as pictured below.
SETUP menu Normal Operating Menu
When the unit automatically powers down, operation will always return to the normal operation (i.e.
away from SETUP) with the last used ARC mode active (i.e. BOW, RIFLE, or REGULAR) along with the last
used TARGETING modes active (Standard SCAN, BULLSEYE, or BRUSH). If the unit turns off while in the
SETUP menu, the unit will always return to the last mode(s) still active.
